What happened in the Operation Endgame 4.0 data breach?
On 18 June 2026, the latest phase of Operation Endgame targeted the SocGholish malware operation, a prolific malware distribution network used to compromise systems and facilitate further cybercrime. Coordinated by international law enforcement agencies with support from Europol and Eurojust, the operation remediated almost 15,000 compromised websites and disrupted more than 100 servers and domains used to distribute malware. Authorities initially provided industry-standard breach data sources with 154k impacted email addresses and more than half a million previously unseen passwords. The following week, a further 4M email addresses and 9M passwords relating to the StealC malware operation also targeted by Operation Endgame were provided, followed by another 131k email addresses the following month, bringing the total to more than 4.3M unique email addresses.

What to do if your email was in the Operation Endgame 4.0 breach
Change your Operation Endgame 4.0 password immediately
Log into Operation Endgame 4.0 and change your password to something strong and unique — one you have never used anywhere else. A password manager after a breach can generate and store a unique password so you never reuse one.
Change any account sharing that password
If you reused this password elsewhere, walk the password-reuse change checklist. You can also check whether that password appears in known leaks without sending the password itself.
Enable two-factor authentication
Turn on 2FA or a passkey after a breach on Operation Endgame 4.0 and every important account. Even if your password is known, attackers cannot sign in without the second factor.
Check your other accounts for this breach
Run a full email scan to see every breach your address appears in — not just this one. Then follow the after-breach playbook. If a password from this incident is still in use, check it without sending the password itself.
Check all my breaches — freeShrink people-search listings if your name or address was exposed
A leaked email plus a public people-search page makes phishing more convincing. That is a separate job from changing passwords. See the data broker opt-out guide for official forms and, if you want help, removal services.
